BREAKING: Russia has effectively abolished a UN panel of experts monitoring UN sanctions on North Korea with a new UN resolution veto

This ends a monitoring program over North Korea sanctions that has had rare unanimous consent in the UN for ~15 years
Continued: "This is not the behavior of a responsible UN Member State, let alone a permanent member of the Security Council."

I still can't get over the absurdity of a permanent UNSC member with veto power openly violating @UN sanctions and @antonioguterres silence and inaction. UN is complicit in Russia's genocide and no one is calling UN out for this

Russia vetoed on Thursday the annual renewal of a panel of experts monitoring enforcement of longstanding UN sanctions against North Korea over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programme, reports Reuters.
The move comes amid US-led accusations that North Korea has transferred weapons to Russia, which Moscow has used in its war in Ukraine. Both Moscow and Pyongyang have denied the accusations, but vowed last year to deepen military relations.
China abstained from the vote on Thursday, while the remaining 13 council members voted in favor.

What a fucking joke it is that this country is a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
